I've got a game breaking bug and need some advice on how to avoid it from continuing to happen. I believe it's occurring because the structural design of my rocket starts the cockpit upside down and doesn't deploy the main rocket thrusters until about 6 million ft from kerbal. When I save the game and log out for the night. Then log in to resume flight, the only thing that spawns in, is the cockpit which is empty and a wierd camera angle that doesn't allow me to rotate the camera properly. This is really frustrating because I'm orbiting other planets or moons from a single flight session and can't continue my science projects on a later day.
Here's a couple screenshots of my design. If it helps..
